We believe living on campus is an integral part of the college experience. Our staff is committed to providing each student with a comfortable residential atmosphere that complements their academic experience at Hofstra. The programs sponsored by our office are designed to integrate formal and informal experiences to accommodate the needs of all our students through the sharing of skills, interests and ideas.

Each residential complex is supervised by a Resident Director or a Graduate Resident Director. These live-in staff members are responsible for the overall management of each residence hall complex. The Resident Directors oversee staff, coordinate maintenance and programming, and are available to students to help with any problem or concern.

We also have Resident Assistants (RA) who are assigned to each floor of our residence halls. The RA is a full-time student who has been selected for his/her outstanding leadership qualities. Each RA is trained to help students resolve any concern that may arise.

The entire Residential Programs staff is responsible for and committed to creating a positive community atmosphere within the halls. Our mission is to assist students with their personal and academic growth. To this end, the Residential Programs staff provides frequent programs for resident students. These programs have included scavenger hunts, costume parties, holiday food and clothing drives, yoga and wellness activities, stress-relief massages, pool tournaments, international food festivals, interpersonal and leadership skill development, study skills enhancement, time management workshops.
